Abstract
Biological treatment of a synthetic waste water containing 120 mM dichloromethane (10.2g/l) was carried out under aerobic conditions using dichloromethane-degrading bacteria as an inoculum. The bacteria were adsorbed to support particles and grown in a fluidized bed bioreactor. Charcoal and sand particles were compared as support materials with regard to abrasion, the maximum degradation rate for dichloromethane and the stability of the biological activity in the system.
